NI PPON-PH ILIPPINES

SPIRIT OF THE IMPERIAL SUBMARINE How It is Being Developed duty. His spirit of loyalty and sacrifice is imprinted on the front page of our s ubmarine history, and stands out as the tradition of our submarine prowess.

On April 15, 1910, Nippon's first submarine equipped with gasoline motor was tested. First Lieutenant Sakuma Tu tomu was in command of this unfortunate Submarine No .

6, Ivhioh never rose. T he next day' the ill-fated submarine wa refloated, but COlllmander Sakuma and his crew of 14 met their tragic de- tIl. Everyone was as his post until the last brea th was out. There was no disorder, confusion , or indi ca tion of frant ic efforts '" ~ ..J " " ~.! "1~~ ~r-~c1 'i1~A~ ~1i.~i\ ~• ,~tf I r" ~a.%*-..

Every torpedo means a hit! " These are our submarine's credo upon whi ch the pirit of ubmarine is built. This spirit has been developed tltroug h tradition, perseverance and vigorous training whi ch none but ippon's navy can llJldel·go.

The daring and relentless war activiLies of the Imperial ubmarine cover an area of 87,000,000 sq. mi. in the Pa cifi c, and arc a source of constant terror to the e nemy. Whether in a ttacking warships, raiding commerce, or she ll ing the foe' land bases, the submarine can be reued upon to bla t the enemy's offense or defen e .

In dis('ussing the historica l development of Nippon's submarine spirit we can not overlook the ga llantry of First Lieutenant akuma Tutomu, who laid down his Ufe in the discharge of his

like true busi of yore, remaining to perform their duties to the last. Commander Sakuma prepared a detailed report concerning the condition of the new engine, cause of the tragedy, and condition of the submarine after it sank.

This report proved a very valuable contribution towards the fu ture development of the submarine, as well as in matters pertai ning to engineering and tech nique.

Part of COll1l11ander Sakuma's mellJQTandum reads : " While we died f01 the State in the performance of our dUlles, yet OUT only regret is that we fear the pubuc may form all erroneous judgment because of this incident and thereby prej udice the development of the submarine in the future. " Such loyalty and .acri5 ce manifested by Conunander :)akullla spurred others interested in submarine and heralded the dawn of the noble Submarine Spirit.

11

TPPO -PHIUPPlNES ne and loyalty ha been perpetuated as Nippon's Submarine Spirit.

Two things stand out con picuously in the moulcling of the Submarine Spirit, which can not be readily appreciated by landlubber . The fir t is the pleasure in discovering the enemy, especially after a somewhat long and uneventful voyage. uch pleasure becomes a complete delight, as may be found among children, after the torpedo has hit its mark!

Shouts of banzai re-echo throughout every comparbnent of the hip.

The second factor is the perfect harmonyand understanding which prevails among the men. They are like a large family. Everybody acts without any make-shift or coat of veneer. Each knows the other fellow's weakness, merit and general trait, and will overlook the unpleasanl side of life. This becomes necessary sin ce they live in cramped quarters day in and day out. ippon sLLbmarine crew's training is more intense tllan actual warfare, and it takes place without choice of time or place. In order to freely manipulate the submarine, which calls for the cream in modern science, its crew must not only he the pick of the pick, hut they should be fairly' intelligenl au d skillful.

The torpedo is the submarine's main weapon , therefore the most important and strenuous training of its crew is how to sink a giant warcraft with a single torpedo. A torpedo is handled sacredly by the crew, and at times prayer is offered to it with the sam e reverence held for a deity. At other times a torpedo is regarded with an attachment or love bestowed upon one's flesh and blood. After a torpedo is clischarged the crew, with their hands clasped, pray

that it will hit the target.

The ipponese ubmarine crew do not consider the torpedo a mere mechani cal agent, bUI a li ving creature whi ch will accurate ly hit the intended objective because it is permeated with the spirit of the crew. Precision machIne, unenJjng training, pillS the great spiritua l power, all combined have fostered the spirit of our invin cible submarine.

In fact they are unmindful of death.

Their deeds live after them and speak for themselves. In the case of the ttack on Sydney harbor, perilous but \ hich succeeded, even the Australian

authorities paid a special tribute to the gallantry and heroism of the Nipponese submarine crew.

These men are the incarnation of the traditional Submarine Spirit originally created by First Lieutenant Sakuma Tutomu.

3.Z34.000 SlUppiog still plays a vital role in modern warfare, therefore victory or defeat depends on whether the sinkings exceed the replacement, of losses or vice versa. Since the outbreak of the European War jr; Se.pt. 1939, up to April tlUs year, the Axis powers have sunk 29,500,000 toos of allied slUpping. TlUs figure exceeds the estimated total combined tonnage of 28,000,000 toos held by or available to the US and Britain prior to the war.

TRANSMlSSION

No amount of frantic efforts by the glo-American powers to replenish these losses cat! overco e the recent brisk siokings by the Axis submarine aoll air forces. Even the American Navy Department admitted that the allies have lost 12,000.0(\0 tons during 1942. The London Daily Express cynically stated : "If the ~xis submarines keep on sinking our ships at this rate they may even tually sink the British isles."

WHY WIVES BECOME HYSTERIC! A SATIRE n wartime we can't afford to encourage

I a non-productive activity in which .. a small hard ball is struck with clubs so a to drive it into a series of holes-' (usually 18) as the game of go lf has been defined_ Golf is not only nOnproductive enterprise but tends to disrupt domestic bliss of a family presided by a "golf-at-all-cost " hubby (assuming that man is still the boss of his household_) We want to be fair ,vith golfbugs generally, but at the same time we'd like to present our side of the story that golf can become baneful.

Well, here it goes_ After having trodden the green links for several miles, more or less, and after having turned in an amazing score of 104 net (he received a handicap of 8 points) our golf hound comes home_ Of course, such a score would humiliate any pretended golfer. He C'lmes home because it is too dark to do any more driving,ironing, slicing, mashing, or putting_ (Note: These are golf t e rm s and have nothing to do mth motor cars, laundry, butchery • .~ brewery, or oarpentry _) His enthusiasm hasn' t coo led down , nor i he too tired to try a couple more rounds but for the all-too-soon- darkne _ He curses blankety blank!

FiHed with an insatiable zeal Our golf fiend prow Is about the house and finally pi cks up a white object in the kitchen_ In his fuming blind ardor any Iwhite lobject may look like a go lf ball! He lifts tl,e unwilling club and takes a healthy whack. Swash- po£sibly a mild sli ce ! Result - a splash that has

\

STORY OF.THE SU KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBMARINE

BY HARADA MITUO

T

here are many shapes of fishes, but the slender ones with both ends poi nted like a cigar can swim fa t because they easily overcome the resistance of the water. A submarine is similarly shaped but has a deck and conning tower in the midd le of its back.

A ubmarine rises 10 the surface or submerges by in creasing or decreasing its weigh t. but how i thi done? There are two hulls in a Ilbmarine, and the space between t~e outer and inner hulls constitutes tl,e ballast tanks. The submarine' weight is regulated by flooding these tanks or discharging the water therefrom. (see fig. 1) There are valves on the top and hottom of these tanks.

When both valve are opened the water rushes ill from the bo ttom, while the a路r is ejected from the top va lve, and th IS the tanks are till,"d. In discbarging I he water, compressed air is let in from the 101' va lve, which force th.e water ou t frolll the lowe r valve.

If a body were of the same density as wa ter, the body can suspend in the water. Therefore, when a submarine ubmerge it rnust ma intain the same den. ity as the wat"r, and the rudder regulates the depth of its dive. Just as an airplane rises or descends by means "f its tail plane and elevator, a submarJOe has rudders on both sides of the bow, which perform similar fun ction.

Another rudder which keeps the submarine in horizontal posit.ion is at the

stern of the hip.

Steam turbines and die e l engine propel steamers and ordinary warcraft. bu t air and fue l are required to operate such motive power. These motive powers are not fea sible under the water.

Therefore the submarine is eq uipped with both the 'diesel engine and the dynamo. The diesel engine is used when the subm arjn e runs on th e surface, while

TOKYO

the ilynamo operates the boat under the water. Then how is the electric current made available to run the dynamo? There are several storage batteries installed in the submarine with whi ch

the dynamo is operated. In order to recharge these batteries after they are U

run down " a motor is needed.

A dynamo can be made to fun ction by electri c current, and if another motive power is used instead, electric cu rrent is generated . Therefore when the sllbmarine is travelling on the surfa ce, the diese l engine can mn the dynamo which will be used in recharging the storage batteries. The shaft of the diesel engi ne is connected to the dynamo by means of a clutch. And the shaft of the dynamo is in turn connected to the propeller by means of a clutch.

But when the dutch between the dynamo and the propeller i disconnected, the batteries can still be recharged, even though the dynamo may not be fun ctioning. When the submarine is under the water I.be operation between the diesel engine and the dynamo ceases, and the dynam.o propels the boat.

WI'en the "" bmarine is moving 011 the urface. the dynamo and the storage b芦up-rics are superfluous and therefore become ex tra burden due to their weight.

This load retards the submarine's speed to about 21 knots. On the other hand the heavy diesel engine becomes an undue burden under the water, and rerluces its under-surface speed to about one-half because of the water's resistance. The storage batteries, which are unu ually large and numerous, will be quickly discharged when the submarine travels at full speed, therefore it can not remain for any great length of time under the water. When the batteries are

n

run down " the submarine

DIUSl

come up to the surface and recharge them .

This is the submarine's bigge t drawback, butlrecenlly a Dew type of submarine, which can be operated either ubmerged or ou nrface withont batteries or dynamo, was invented. Such a submarine may soo n be put into action,

and it is believed will have more speed and can remain submerged longer than the current type.

BMARINE

;IMPLIFIED We all know that the ubmarine-s chief weapon is the torpedo which is discharged through the torpedo tube by means of compressed air. Usually there are four tube in the bow and two in the rear of the submarine.

The submarine sticks out its peri. scope through the conning tower and makes an observation when it arrives at a location where an enemy is likely to appear. The periscope is equipped with a mirror into which the object under observation is reRected. When an enemy ship is sighted its distance, course, and speed are gauged, after which the submarine dive and approaches its victim .

The periscope may be regarded as the submarine's eye, but when it is submerged the submarine relies upon the sound detector which can be likened to its ear. With this delicate in trument the submarine can detect by sound the peed, location, size, etc. of the surface ship. Mter the submarinE. reaches the effective range of the target it fires the torpedo.

ubmarin e rises to lh ~ s urface when till" \Vhen the ballast tanks are filled with wa ler, as s hown on the lefl, lhe submarine s ubmerges. water in th e ballas t tank s is dl c har~ ed .

Figure 1.

Because the submarine's speed is comparatively slow it can not attack an enemy wareraft by pursuit. Therefore in many c.ases the submarine attacks the enemy by waylaying for its victim along the latter's probable course. As a rule the submarine approaches the enemy as near as po 'ble, but ome~s incurs the risk of being detected and attacked. Nil'Pop's daring and invincilile submarine will hazard such consequence and go near the enemy ships, which accounts for its uccessful ubmarine warfare.

When the submarine i ubmerged compressed oxygen is slowly released to purify the stuffy air in the boat. Because carbonic acid gas is chemically absorbed, the crew on board will not find it difficult to breathe. Of course, there are other devices intended to minimize the inconvenience and discomfortable life on the submarine. It is therefore safe to assume that the submarine prowess of any country can be judged by the capacity of its people to per evere and withstand hardships and the rigors of life that harrlen them for this service.

HOW IT ·IS Wl,at is salvaging ? The raJsmg of sunken slups, or !l,e freeing of slurs which have run aground or stranded on rocks, and the general operations con· nected therewith are generally known as salvaging.

Nippon's salvagi ng industry began to take on active shape about 1897, and during a short 'period had made rapid stride in coordination with her advance in maritime transportation.

Today Nippon's salvaging techn ique and equip'. ment even surpass thoEe of the foreign cou ntries, and stand out as the world's best. There are many rea ons for this, but one or two may suffice.

Salvaging is a battle against the high wind, sto rm and water. The Eeas border· ing Nippon mak .. frequent attacks upon shipring and shipwrecks are of frequent occurrenre. Nippon has not seen fit to abandon sunken vessels, such as the foreign shippers and owners have, 0) might lllwe done, but went through all the trouble of salvaging them despite l'O"tih weather and strong ocean current.

These factors can be cited as chief cau· ses which have enhan~ed and added to Nippon's salvaging technique and ex· perience.

When a salvaging company receives a distress call a fully equipped salvaging slup is dispatched to the scene of dis· tress. Heavy anchors are attached to large cables, and the slup held fast so that it will not be tossed about by the waves, tide and wind before the work is commenced. There are several me· thods of salvaging, depending upon the

29

E IN NIPPON depth of water, location, condition and nature of the ship to be sa lvaged.

The most common method is to attach several SO路 ton floating tanks or pontoons (9 meters long and 3 meters in diameter) on both sides of the vessel which is to be floated. Compressed air is pumped into these tanks, and as the tanks rise the vessel floats . Smaller tanks of box-shaped are also placed inside the vessel. This method is not so easy as it may be imagined, since many technical difliculties are likely to arise during its operation.

When a vessel is sunk every opening in the ship must be sealed and made water-tight and water pumped out of it.

This method becomes impracticable if the water is certain height above the deck, in which case sot!le other method must be adopted.

Sometimes the outer hull of the tillken vessel is extended to th s路tria ce of the water like a wall S l) as t preven t the outside water from comi.1g Inte> tbe sbip. After this wa ll is built, the watel inside the ship is pumped out to enable it to float. As a praclical matter this method calls for considerable amount of materials and labor, to say nothing of the possibility with which the wall may be desttoyed by waves during operation, and so its application is usually restricted to parts of the ship.

In raising small sunken vesse l the " lifting" method is used, by which the ship is pulled up to the surface. It is resorted to in deep-sea sa lvaging, and is the combination of pontoon and com-

pressed air methods. In the com pre ed air method every opening of tile vesse l is sea led and air pumped into the hip amj causing it to float.

Nipponese make competent diver because of their stamina, perseveran ce and training. Their role is as equa lly vita l as the fighting services, sin e they

wi ll be ca lled upon ooner or later to help sa lvage the ships sunk during the current war. In addition to the practica l trai ni ng in divi ng, repa iring and other techniques, prospe tive diver are taught shipbuilding, electri c engineeri ng, drafting, mathematics and English.

REBIRTH OF

The " Yasim a iMaru " (94.6 tons), wl1ile plying be tween Kobe and Beppu, sank in a fi erce ga le in the Tnla nd ea on November 20,1933. Pronoun ced a tota l loss, the ship lay at the botlom of the sea for nearly six years. But a certain salvaging firm thought otherwise a nd un rlertook to raise the ill-fated ship , and on June 3,

1939, the battered, mud-and-barnacle-covered hulk of the llip wa raised from her 70-ÂŁ001 watery grave.

Imm ed iately repairs and remodelling started, and on Angust 5, 1941 , a trim, white-painted vessel, the " Kosei Maru " (meaning re-born sllir) made her first voyage between Tokyo and ()sima, without a trace of her grim past.

NIPPON-PHILIPPINES

KUSUNOKI MASASIGE GOTO KATUMI The Empire of Nippon is ruled by an unbroken line of Emperors, although the Imperial Family has not always been able to a sume actlUll power. There was a period in the history of Nippon when local chieftains or military leaders actlUllly did or attempted to usurp the Imperial rule. But whether the actual control oJ the government was in the IUlnds of these temporary usurpers or not, the Tenn6 or Emperor was, and'is, always the rightful ruler of the Empire. Anyone who ignores the imperial prerogative is regarded as rebel or traitor.

According to histor), political power had been assumed by such f amilies as Soga, Hujiwara, Tazra, Mtnamoto, Hozro, Asikaga, Oda . T oyotomi mw T okugawa. Frequently these regimes bro" f!ht c1Ulos to the country. "et most oj them paid scrupulous heed to I.he fnct that actlUll sovereignt:r Tested with the imperial Family, alld that they were mend), acting as administrative organs or" bakuhu" as some of them were know!!.

0" the other IUlnd there were staunch loyal militar:y leaders who advocated the absolute imperial preroga.ive, alld when it IUls been transcended it must be restored.

And oftentimes military campaig lIS were conducted by loyal support~r.' of such cause. In the reign of Emperor Go-Daigo (1318-1 339) the Hozro family was in power as the Kamakura bakuhu, while the Emperor held his court in K:yoto, the then capital.

this period there lived a patriotic military leader During named Kusunoki Masasige who, with his son Masatura, rallied to the loyalist canse. Their adversary was Asikaga Takauzi, a traitorous general under Hozyo bakulm. Takauzi attempted to ursurp the Imperial rule and plauned to invade Kyoto with a llU ge army. The Emperor co mmanded Kusunoki Masasige to prevent Asikaga Takauzi's plot. Masasige was not only a very capable genera l, who bad engaged in many battles against odds, but enjoyed the confidence of his subordinates.

He immediately made preparations to combat Takauzi , the rebel.

Masasige had a so n called Masatura, who wa then eleven years of age_ Masatura pleadec! with his father to let him

join the for ces s<' thal hp roo migbt have a ehance to attack the rebel. The fatber realized that lhis coming battle might be his last so h.. Sl,1l111l01led Masatura at akurai aud as a keepsake handed to the so n thp. Hoating chrysa nthemum crest dagger which the fath"r h ad received from the Emperor.

In this connection Masa ige counselled his son, '- YOll are now 11 years old, and no doubt YOll will listen to what I shall have to say_ The rebe l has a huge army, while ours is small.

No amonnt of strategy will enable us to defeat the foe .

Theref6re, your father intends to fight to the last and die valiantly. " It is very clear that after my death Takauzi will have his own way_ I want YOll to go back home where mother is waiting and become a full-fledged warrior. Upon attaining manhood you can the n show yom路 10yaIt y to the Empe路ror by exterminating the rebel and thus ease Hi Majesty's mind.

This is the greate t filial devotion which you can render to your father. " Young Masatura , however, was adamant and pleaded eantestly, "Father, no matter what YOll may say I ca n't go back withollt doing something! Please le t me accompany you to the battle field so that I can die with YOll."

to becom a g reat man , one must be urilliarlt from childhood."

Masasige sternly admonished hi son , " MasatUTa, don' t you understaod yOUT fath er ? Your body belongs to yo u, yet you can't do with it as you please . Have n' t you offered YOUTself to the Emperor? If 0, then your deaU, 00 the battle fie ld doesn' t mean loyalty. After you have lived to be an adult, and have slain the rebel, then you w i II have become a loyal subject. So please go home, and thi nk thi matter over carefully. " Masatura had DO alternati ve but to obey. The parting between the father and son was pathe tic, ye t Masasige stood it grievously. This is the famou story abou t the " Parting at Sakurai " between the loyalist K usunoki and his son. It is aD exemplary classic or loyalty and parenta l devotion.

After sending his son home from Sakurai, Masasige and his army marched to Hyogo provin ce, where the enemy's huge combined land and sea forces were waiting. But Masasige remained undistubed as he was imbued with the spirit of a true warrior. Neither did he fear mtmeri al superiority, nor disdained inferior forces. With wisdom and valor of a great general, Masasige showed no sign of weakening. Before taking their position on the field , Masasige advised his younger bro ther Masasuye, " We are ou tnumbered so let's not think about vi ctory or defeat, but let us fight for the sake of loyalty. " The enemy's force tota lled about 500,000 as against a mere handful of 700 for Masasige, Victory was ou t of question so the loyalist troops were determined to die fi ghting, which could on ly be envisaged by men of co urage.

This is Nippon's national trait- fight to the last even

against overwhelnung odds. Tills spirit shown by Masasige is manifested in the current war, which accounts for the gallan try and chivalro us cond uct of OUT fighting service.

Masasige's forces plunged into the enemy who were repulsed for the time being. Sixteen skirmishes were held , and meanwhile Masasige's force was depleted until only 73 remained. Th ~e co uld have retreated to Kyoto, but they refrained from doing so and fought to the bitter end . Finally they repaired to a farmer's house and committed "harakiri. " Since then Knsunolci Masasige is being he ld up as the example of loyalty to the Emperor.

The SO n Masatura had retUTned to his home, and began training to hecome a full-fledged " busi " or warrior.

Hisako, the wife of Masasige, was a lady of refin ed training and culture, who had reared the two SOnS worthy of a warrior's offspring. One day the rebel's emissary brought Masasige's head to them, and after seeing it both broke down.

MasatUTa wept a he recalled tbe parting scene at Sakurai.

As he watched his father's head, the son was very much chagrined that he had not joined his father in the battle fi eld.

With suppressed tears Masatura repaired to another room.

Feeling somewhat suspicious his mother followed him. Much to her surprise she discovered Masatttra, with the dagger which he had received from his father at Sakurai, about to commit e( harakiri. " The mother rushed forward and grabbed her son's arm and aid, " MasatUTa , what does this mean? There is a saying

NIPPON-PHILIPPINES that even the bud of a bead-tree is fragrant. And likewise in order to become a great man, one must be brilliant from childhood. You certainly ought to be able to understand tltis.

Father didn' t want you to follow him after his death, so he sent you back from Sakurai. Neither did he expect you to commit

n

harakiri. "

" Didn't your father tell you that after his death you should gather up reinforcement from among the members of our family and retainers, and fight the rebel, and ease the Emperor's mind? Tltis was your father's parting advice, wltich you yourself told me, but now you seem to have forgotten it.

With such an attitude you can't be expected serve the Emperor. Moreover I fervently hope that you will not bring dishonor to your father's name ."

The mother took away the dagger from Masatura's hand.

Masatura threw himself down, covered his face and wept.

Sin ce that incident Masatura followed his father's counsel and his mother's teachings. Even willie playi ng with his friends Masatura would pretend taking the adversary's head. " I've taken rebel's head! " he would shout. At other time he would ride on stilts and shout as if from horseback, " Takauzi, you can' t get away !" And thus the young Masa tura even in IDS play constantly bore in mind the need to crush the traitor. During the evenings Masatura would study war strategy through famous war books, while his mother remained nearby and helped her son. As predicted by Masasige, Takauzi began to run rampant and there was no one who could overthro w him .

After the lapse of t<'n years when he was 22 years old_ Masatura was prepare" to attack Takauzi, th rebe l. He reported his preparation to the spi..-it of his fath r and bade farewell to his Dloti ,er. ccYfJli. io l nice in your warrior's outfit," the mother C1!mpJimented. "f'm S\lYe your father will be pleased. When yo u m>'-et the enemy don t conduct yourself in a cowardly manner 00 ." 'c i)nng ciJSI,'lace upon your father. Now you can go through " noble death. This is my last word," the good mother counselled Masatura.

First she had lost her husband, and noW she was about to lose her beloved son, yet like a true Nippone e mother the thought of allegiance {orbade her to shed tears. But at the final parting between the mother and son she could not hold hack her tears, for motherly love eventually overcame her.

When Masatura was out of sight, lhe mother wept-perhaps like all mothel s.

Masatura and his men emerged victorious in battle after battle, and finally he too met a heroic death. He was 23 at the time of his death. But the loyalty of the Kusunokis for two generations is being venerated by every Nipponese.

They are enshrined and looked upon as the highest example of loyalty. The essence of Nippon's martial spirit consists in defending the country and in loyalty to the Emperor.

Our nationality is based on the idea of the Imperial Family as the head family of the Nipponese race whi ch conviction has crystallized in to a loyal sentiment of devotion and attachment similar to the sentiment felt by children for their father.

This spirit which regards the Imperial Family as our head and centre is our national spirit. The Nipponese Empire founded by the Imperial Ancestors on broad and everlasting basis, in which the subjects are united in loya lty and filial piety from generation to generation.

Later Kitagawa is called to the color, and in a fierce battle somewhere in the

southern regions, he loses both eyes.

After returning from the front he gives up hope of continuing as a music tea· cher, but makes up his mind to become a musical composer despite Ius blind· ness. Encouraged by his friends and sister, as well as by Akiko , who is devo· ted and sacrificing as ever, h e plans to \ rite a masterpiece rnusica l composition .

In spite of Akiko's undying devotion for him, Kitagawa feels that he is unable to make her happy because of his physical hanclicap.

Upon completing his composition, Kitagawa bids farewell to Akiko and comes to Tokyo. Through the recom路 mendation of his benefactor, Kitagawa's musical composition is published and his fame suddenly spreads. Then for the first time he feels confident that his blindness is no handicap, and that he can fa ce the world as any normal in clividual. He accepts Akiko's love which he previously felt he did not deserve.
